From the intro video:
"Muse is a tool for the graphic designer. And I mean that in the most sincere sense."
I downloaded the demo. For me, it's defined by the absence of a source code view. That said, the Muse site itself is built with the app, which is impressive, but must have required incredible patience. The code it outputs is less than impressive: the body code begins with six nested divs.
At $15/month, it may find an audience among keen hobbyists, though. Professional graphic designers I know who've expressed an interest in web design have all drifted towards Dreamweaver or taught themselves to hand code sites from scratch, and I'm not sure that Muse is enticing enough a toolset to break this trend at present. If they're trying to appeal to graphic designers (typically Mac users), the fact that it's an Air app is likely to be a big hurdle for adoption.
- Meai 15y agoWhat I would really appreciate, is a graphical designer similar to the WPF designer, just for CSS. Muse is far from that, as far as I can tell, there isn't even a way to provide percentage values for boxes.
- kristaps 15y agoWhy would the app running on AIR pose a problem?
- schraeds 15y agoBecause most if not all AIR apps have non-standard interfaces that feel clunky, slow, and out of place on Mac OS X.
